I recently pulled a 5.0 from a wrecked mustang my uncle has had in his yard since the mid 90's. Car only had 32,000 miles on it. The machine shop said that the block looked good and to save some money we could use the factory forged pistons if I wanted. Being this is going in a 65 Falcon that will be driven a couple times a month I was good with that. I had a set of GT40 3 bar heads so I had those cleaned up and a valve job done on them and Comp 972 springs that the builder at the machine shop says will work with the cam he ordered me. Car has 3.73 gears and I've had the AOD from the mustang built. Will also be using the stock EFI setup. I can't find any cam off the shelf that has the same specs. The paperwork he gave me says Hydraulic Roller 270 advertised duration, .214/220 @ .050, 482/496 lift w/1.6, 512/527 lift w/1.7, 112 LSA. Since getting the cam and springs from him I have heard from several people that the builder has a less than desirable reputation. Does this sound like it will work for what I am doing and do the springs look like they will work?
